Aass Lettøl

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Low Alcohol
Drammen, Norway

Big offwhite head over clear yellow body with some ongoing carbonation. Light malt aroma with soft grassy hops and faint notes of dry straw, and perhaps a little rubber at the back. Taste is bitter golden malts with grassy hop notes throughout. Aftertaste is dry with notes of grass and straw. Faintly chalky bitterness lingers. Not bad for a light alcohol; better than many pilseners I’ve had. (0.33l bottle.)

Bottle: Clear yellow colour, with a thin white head. Aroma was fruity,gras,hay and a nice fruity hopy ending. Flavor was almost the same,. Thin watery mouth feeling, but has a nice fruity,gras mouth feeling. Thin body, short finish. A nice light beer from The oldest brewery in Norway.

330 ml bottle. Brilliant golden coloured with an average sized coarse white head. Lots of bubbles rising to the top of the glass, almost like in a soda. Crisp malty sweet aroma with a good solid hoppy edge. The hops are quite nice. Notes of honey. Feels rather thin-bodied in the mouth, but holds a gentle malty flavour and a good hop bitter finish. The mouthfeel is somewhat watery and not as carbonated as suspected. In all a rather fine low-alcohol beer.

Nice golden colour, good head, malty smell. Some malty taste, not any hops at all. OK for a low alcohol beer.

Firm two finger white head over a shiny pale golden body. Fresh and slight sweet grainy aroma. Fruity and mild hoppy notes. Taste is clean with dryish pale malts and a decent amount of bittering hops. Good body for a low alcohol lager. Lively moouthfeel. Lasting light bitter and light grainy finish. Approved!

20.03.2009, 0,33l Bottle. Pale yellow colour. Firm white head. Aroma is weak and grassy. Very little malt but the hops are ok. I think this low alcohol lager is above average.

330ml bottle from Centra in Oslo. This one came as a surprise after having drunk an awful non-alcoholic beer from San Miguel. Straw coloured pour with a bubbly, plain white head with some duration. Nice head-lacing. Mild aroma of sweet fruits that continues in flavour with lighter notes of grapefruits. Thin and light in the mouth, of course, but quite alright and refreshing, and, most important, without any strange tastes (hotel room, Oslo 13.10.2009).

330 ml bottle. Clear golden with a small white head. Weak aroma of hay and fruit. Flavor is mild malty, a bit fruity and a hint of bitterness. Thin, watery body and short finish. Decent low-alcohol beer, but I have found more flavors in a non-alcoholic beer.
